This is one of those recipes that words fail. It is a combination of several recipes I have tried for these iconic Vietnamese sandwiches. The mayo needs to be spread thick but go light on the meat. If you want to tone down the heat on the jalapenos, take out the seeds and ribs. I have to restrain myself from making it too often. One note of caution, the slaw does not smell good when it is pickling
